WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
Minerva ‘Minnie’ An’Yan broke the ultimate divine law—she fell in love with a human. As a runaway goddess, she spent years in hiding, knowing the gods wanted her punished for her transgressions.
But when she’s finally captured, she faces more than just execution. Azerius, the most powerful god in existence, doesn’t just want her dead—he wants the true identity of Marlowe, the man she risked everything for.
Except even Minnie doesn’t know who Marlowe really is.
She’s loved him across lifetimes, under different names, but his real identity has always remained a mystery.
Now, trapped between a vengeful god and the echoes of a love she can’t escape, Minnie must unravel the secrets of her past before they destroy her. And in the process, she must answer the most important question:
Who is Marlowe?

MY OPINION OF BOOK 1
Is dark romance allowed to be cute? Well, I can eat that up like a decadent cupcake :-D This book is my first approach to the author. I gobbled up the hook because how can I resist?
Hero? Serial killer. Heroine? Damsel in distress.
Or are they?
The truth is that he is twisted to the core, he finds a wisp of a woman in danger, suddenly becomes a dark saviour in a killing spree and there's a frenzy of mutual secrets crashing against each other like a dance of lust and soulmates. Wow.
I'm not sure if it's dark comedy, paranormal fantasy or a trick of the mind :-D
Macabre and adorable, gory and smitten, this couple surely will leave an imprint in our imagination. The final chapters are mind-blowing and the cliffhanger is to die for, almost literally!
MY OPINION OF BOOK 2
I couldn't stop myself from reading the next book in the House of Cryos series. The first book left me reeling with questions, so curiosity got the better of me. Minnie is revealed in a very different light in this second book. Things that were found out or explained before, now are fleshed out and in real action.
It was so engaging to get to know her story as she was before she met Marlowe in such dark circumstances. Funny and full of energy, she shows her mighty ambition for the good while getting into trouble and realising how difficult it is to deal with certain pesky necessities. That was hilarious. And I loved the character that comes to life to show how everything started for her. Their relationship is fun and intense, especially considering the stakes.
Minnie's attitude contrasts wildly with the historical context. That's a source of plenty of hilarious scenes and misunderstandings. On the other hand, the dark fantasy is so exciting because of the folklore and how to deal with it. I really liked that.
Even though the main focus of the first half of the book is on the crazy banter between the characters, fun and amorous, the lengths they go to will surprise you. However, the dark fantasy part is such a whirlwind of new things and valuable chunks of progress. It's mind blowing. Lots of action, magic, battles against supernatural creatures, blood and guts, intricate worldbuilding, carnal passion to raise some eyebrows. Oh, and one special place we get to see! Exciting secrets are spilled, though there are many to come. This book left me breathless!
